The Letter Of Hr. Douglass.

Mr.. &. 4. Douglass in his letter to the Abbe-
ville Medium in this weeks issue to the Press
end Banner, voices the sentiment of the peo-
Pic In Their satisfaction with the unstable
lty and uncertainty OF our laws.
The laws which concern us most are con-
stantly changed by the Legislature and the
Supreme Court puts strange and unhcard of
constructions on the simplest words in the
English language.
So great Is the uncertainty Of many Of the
laws that the best lawyers In the State will
scarcely venture TO give n decided opinion on
many points which should be Well establish
cd, and upon which no doubt should exist.
To prevent the great and grievous wrong
which the majority of the Supreme Court of
this State propose to infict on the creditor
class Of our citizens calls loudly for a re-or-
ganization Of that tribunal. There can be in
our opinion not the least shadow OF O. doubt
that the Supreme Court strained ponst
when they construed the words "as to- to
mean "for the benefit Of" No Literary writer
or law glver has ever before given such q
meaning to these simple words.
The people owe the grand jury debt OF
gratitude. If the people never protest at the
encroachment OF their servants they may
someday proclaim themselves masters Of the
people.
